How to Edit Condition Zero Server Config Files

In this guide, you will learn how to edit the different Counter-Strike: Condition Zero config files such as server.cfg and mapcycle.txt, and exactly what each one is for.

Main Configs in Condition Zero

By default, the configuration files listed below will control 99% of the things you need to do on your server. Here is an overview of each file and what commands/convars should go where. You can edit these files by going to Files.

server.cfg

Default location: /czero/server.cfg

The server.cfg file is the main configuration file of your Condition Zero server. This is where you add custom commands which can control things such as round timers, map timers, and much more.

Here are some examples of common settings:

  • mp_timelimit - Time before map rotation.
  • mp_maxrounds - Maximum rounds before map change.
  • mp_roundtime - Sets round time.

mapcycle.txt

Default location: /czero/mapcycle.txt

The mapcycle file is where you edit your Condition Zero server map rotation. Ensure that any map added has already been uploaded to the czero/maps folder on your server.

Plugin Config Files

Default location: /czero/addons/amxmodx/configs

If you're using Condition Zero plugins such as AMX Mod X, each plugin you install should generate a config file inside the AMX Mod X plugin folder.
